I agree with Pops. If you get hooked on Cowboy Junkies music, you want to have them all. Mile From Home just mesmerized me for a long time, Lay it Down is my second fav. There is a release called "Studio" (I think) that is no longer listed in the Junkies Discography. Has a song towards the end called "Driving Wheel" (if my memory serves me right) that is very hypnotic.

Now I have to go home tonight and refresh my memory with a listen.

Nice to see other Junkies fans out there. They used to come through Cincinnati every Valentines Day and play small theaters and clubs. It was a tradition to have flowers sent to the theater for Margo since they were on the road. Often the girl from "Over the Rhine" a Cinti. band (can't think of her name off hand) was touring with the Junkies and singing backup for Margo. Really nice harmonies. And yeh, they are pretty laid back on stage and in person. Don't know if they did this everywhere, but Margo and a couple of the guys in the band would always stay after the show to talk, sign CD's, and hang out.
